Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Correct. Shapers who wind up on the wrong end of a political struggle or those who are less then perfect get sent out to the backwater places to rule or govern. Like whatsisname in G3, who had to rule over the swampy island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually really close to Turabi Gate. Given that it takes several weeks to travel from Drypeak to the Shaper capital, it seems very likely that the Shaper Council is on the other continent.

Chittering Clawbug Fringy MacGee Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It would make sense if the Shaper Council were just about anywhere. With the war on, they probably set up some sort of mobile-councilling-unit so they could operate on whatever continent is the least... burnt down. That said, it would just feel right if it took place in Western Terestria, otherwise Turabi gate was kind of a tease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Terrestia is a single continent--it just divides into an eastern half and western half nicely.

Dikiyoba. Now your just guessing. Besides, learned Hartel from Kima-uss is from drypeak and said it was it the north. Kima-uss is on the northeastern end of the G4 map. How I see it is Western Terrestia goes on to the west for a while, than hooks north, eventually reaching a road that takes you to drypeak. We still can't rule out the relocation of the Council.

Garrulous Glaahk pitchblack Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Ok, now, in the G2 ending, it did say that you walked to the council. (Or at least it never mentioned traveling by boat.) I think that we are just gonna have to wait for G5 to come out to see exactly where it takes place.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It said after you reached a nearby city you were wisked off to the Council to complete your mission.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Though as a beta tester I know the actual G5 map, I'm antsy about my NDA. But I can remind people about Geneforge geography in general. I have always imagined that the zones represent isolated areas of interest or challenge, not a tiling of the map. Some adjacent zones may be quite far apart. G5 finally includes at least one explicit tip that there maybe long walks between zones. I still think Jeff should spell this principle out more explicitly, but maybe he doesn't have to. The scale is not necessarily the same in every game. Sucia Island seemed relatively small, and its servile villages really only had a few buildings. The Ashen Isles evidently extend over considerable latitude, and G4 is considered to run the whole east coast of a large continent. Some city zones in G3 and G4 are obviously too small to represent full major cities, so presumably they portray only the town centers, ignoring dull suburbs around. Anyway, the point is that the Geneforge zone system gives Jeff a lot of freedom with geography. He could have G5 cover the entire globe if he wanted, or have it all happen within a hundred miles of the Turabi Gate. What we'd see in either case would be cities and zones not so different from what we've seen before. You know you can get to the Shaper Council, and you can guess it's probably a good few zones travel to get there. But geographically it can still be wherever Jeff wants it to be.

Garrulous Glaahk pitchblack Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Ok... that was only kind of helpful... We were talking about the location, which, as you have pointed out, could be anywhere. Which was exactly what we were arguing about... I do understand about the NDA, however, and respect it, which is probaly why your post is kinda vague. I really wish that I could make it go explody, though.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 This discussion made me mess with the day counter in G4 some, and I'm getting some unexpected results (namely, traveling from the Eastern Barrier Zone to the Eastern Pass can take anywhere from three to nine days). Anyone know how it works? Is it somehow effected by the weather? Is Jeff's eventually going to produce Geneforge Trail? Dikiyoba must know!
